XUPARIA UMA MENINA / XUPARINA’S JOURNEY

 

MC Xuparina, a queer favela singer, escapes the male dominated funk scene of Rio de Janeiro and faces other hardships as an immigrant in Germany. A rhythmical and humorous melodrama about struggle and ideals, and how to stand up for sexual diversity in a hetero-normative music genre.
